高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

A mystery surrounds my grandmother’s collection of salt cellars (盐瓶). No one in the family seems to know when she started collecting them, or exactly how many she had.

My grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born. She was a poet, an artist, a food lover and a salt cellar collector. The funny thing about the salts, as she called them — I never once heard her say salt cellar — was that although everybody knew they were her hobby and everyone was always searching for them at yard sales or in stores, nobody seemed to know what they meant to her and they just wanted to make her happy. Grandma kept her salts in a dark wooden corner display case in the living room. Since her death the case has remained exactly as she left it. Grandpa tries his best to preserve his memories of her just as they are.

Now I am collecting, too. Collecting memories about my grandmother’s hobby, a way she spent her time. And as I hold one of them in my hand, I picture her holding it in her hand on the day she got it. She is smiling. My mother and her two sisters all have small collections, but my mother admits that she was more interested in finding salts to send to Grandma.

Grandma once wrote a poem titled “When April Comes”. The poem contains the line, “When April comes and I am not around, remember me when daffodils are found.” Now, Grandpa is working on a poem with the line, “April came and you were not around”.

But she was, somehow. She was there in the memories left behind by her possessions.

1.It can be inferred from the text that the author’s family_______ .

A. are very proud of their interesting family history

B. value the wonderful poems Grandma wrote

C. are much influenced by Grandma’s interest

D. know much about grandparents’ love

2.In writing the text, the author expressed ________.

A. her love for her grandma B. her desire to collect more salt cellars

C. her sadness at losing her grandma D. her curiosity about her grandma’s possessions

3.The underlined part “her possessions” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

A. Grandma’s experience B. Grandma’s strong will

C. Grandma’s talent D. Grandma’s hobby

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Grandma’s Salt Cellar Collection B. The Mystery of Grandma’s Salt Cellars

C. Grandparents’ Lifelong Devotion D. A Family’s Collection History

Did you know that the position you choose to sleep in says something about what kind of person you are?

A study of 1,000 British people has been done by Chris, a British professor and director of the Sleep Assessment and Advisory Service in the UK. It looked at the six most common sleeping positions and which personalities tend to match them. Have a look.

1. Fetus (胎儿) position – This is the most common sleeping position. About 41 percent of the participants said they sleep in this position. These sleepers may appear to be strong but they are usually sensitive (敏感的) and shy. The more they curl (蜷缩) up, the more worried they are.

3. Yearner position (向往型睡姿) – This position says that you are open-minded and eager (急切的) to face challenges.

4. Soldier position – These sleepers lie on their backs with their arms down and close to the body. They are usually reserved and quiet.

5. Freefall position – People who sleep in this position are outgoing (外向的) but feel a lack of control in their lives. This is the least comfortable position.

6. Starfish position – People who sleep like this are good listeners, helpful, and uncomfortable being the center of attention.
