高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
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.

“Where is Papa going with that ax (斧子)?” said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.
“Out to the hoghouse,” replied Mrs. Arable. “Some pigs were born last night.”
“I don’t see why he needs an ax,” continued Fern, who was only eight.
“Well,” said her mother, “one of the pigs is a runt (发育不良的小动物). It’s very small and weak. So your father has decided to do away with it.”
“Do away with it?” shouted Fern. “You mean kill it?”
“Don’t shout, Fern!” she said. “Your father is right. The pig would probably die anyway.”
Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled springtime. Fern’s shoes were wetting by the time she caught up with her father.
“Please don’t kill it! It’s unfair,” she said.
Mr. Arable stopped.
“Fern,” he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father’s hand.
“Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a group of pigs than you do. A weak pig makes trouble.”
“But it’s unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn’t help being born small. If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. It’s a pig.”
“There is no difference,” replied Fern.
1.What puzzled Fern at the beginning?
A．Why her father refused to eat breakfast. B．If the hoghouse was big enough for many pigs.
C．How pigs were born at night. D．What his father would do with an ax.
2.Why couldn’t Fern control herself?
A．Because she was afraid of killing a pig. B．Because the pig was treated unfairly.
C．Because she loved pet pigs very much. D．Because her father was rude to her.
3.According to the passage, Fern’s father thought that ______.
A．it was natural for pigs to be born small B．he couldn’t afford to have so many pigs
C．a weak pig needed more attention D．he was troubled by raising a weak pig
4.It can be inferred from the passage that Fern was _________.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Most buildings are built to stand up straight, but these look as if they might fall over!
The church tower of Suurhusen
Built in 1450, the 27-metre-high church tower lies in Suurhusen, Germany. It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunks (树干). When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again. The lean of the tower is now about five degrees.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side. Now it leans just an angle of 3.97 degrees.
Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi
Completed in 2011, the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees. The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains, among other things, a fine hotel with wonderful views of the harbour. Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.
Big Ben of London
The building leans 0.26 degrees to the northwest. This was mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s. The tower, which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858, has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter.
1.The underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.
A. danger B. church
C. castle D. treasure
2.What can we learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
A. It didn't lean until ten years after its completion.
B. It took almost two hundred years to complete.
C. It was built on foundations of oak tree trunks.
D. It has been open since it was completed.
3.Which of the following towers leans the most according to the text?
A. The church tower of Suurhusen.
B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
C. Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi.
D. Big Ben of London.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A. The history of towers
B. The art of building a tower
C. The leaning towers of the world
D. Top four tallest towers in Europe
