A little boy almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because poliomyelitis (小儿麻痹症) made his leg lame and his teeth uneven. He seldom played with his classmates; and when the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word.

One spring, the boy’s father asked for some saplings (树苗) from the neighbor. He told his children to plant a sapling each person. The father said, “Whose seedling grows best, I will buy him or her a favorite gift.” The boy also wanted to get his father’s gift. But seeing his brothers and sisters carrying water to water the trees happily, anyhow, he hit upon an idea: he hoped the tree he planted would die soon. So watering it once or twice, he never attended to it.

A few days later, when the little boy went to see his tree again, he was surprised to find it not only didn’t wilt, but also grew some fresh leaves, and compared with the trees of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more vital. His father kept his promise, bought the little boy his favorite gift and said to him: from the tree he planted, he would become an outstanding botanist when he grew up.

Since then, the little boy slowly became optimistic. One day, the little boy lay on the bed but couldn't sleep. Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, he suddenly recalled what the biology teacher once said, plants generally grow at night. Why not go to see the tree? When he came to the courtyard on tiptoe, he found his father was splashing something under his tree with a ladle (勺子). He returned to his room, tears running down his face.

Decades passed. The little boy didn’t become a botanist, but he was elected President of the United States. His name was Franklin Roosevelt.

1.Why didn’t the boy answer the teacher’s question?

A.He couldn’t concentrate on the class.

B.All the students looked down on him.

C.He lacked confidence because of his illness.

D.He was an unfortunate boy with learning disability.

2.Why did the father ask the children to plant trees?

A.The neighbor required him to do it.

B.He expected them to be botanists.

C.He wanted to encourage the disabled boy.

D.The children asked for their favorite gifts.

3.What does the underlined word “wilt” mean?

A.Become weak. B.Become strong.

C.Become beautiful. D.Become green.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.An Unfortunate Boy

B.Nutrition of Growth

C.A Loving Father

D.The Unselfish Love

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

One picture in the Wonder Book of knowledge I had as a little boy showed a man reading a book while floating in the Dead Sea. What a miracle! How would it feel to lie back in water so thick with salt that it was impossible to sink?

Fed by the Jordan River and smaller streams, the Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth’s surface, and its water is ten times saltier than the Mediterranean. With evaporation its only outlet, salt and other minerals become super-concentrated.

Earlier this year, I drove down the long, steep hill to realize my dream. The shoreline was a broad area of bare salt-mud, but the water edge was far out of sight. Had somebody pulled the Dead Sea’s plug? I wondered. Eli Dior, an Israeli official, explained the problem: “The Dead Sea is drying up. Every year, the surface drops about one meter, and as the water level falls, shadow areas are left high and dry.”

Over the last half-century, the five neighboring countries have collectively diverted nearly all the water flowing into the Dead Sea to meet human and agriculture needs. Result: the Dead Sea is being emptied.

With population in the region set to double at least in the next 50 years, there is little hope of restoring the water being diverted for human consumption. No country has a drop to spare for the Dead Sea, where they know it will just evaporate. To dream of opening the dams and restoring natural balance is plainly unrealistic.

Yet one ambitious high-tech dream may turn out to be not only the salvation of the Dead Sea but also a ticket to peace around its shores. The “Red-Dead” is a proposed $5 billion project to bring sea water some 240 kilometers by pipeline and canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea. The Red-Dead may be the only solution, but even if the project is carried out successfully, the Dead Sea will be 10 to 20 meters lower than now and two thirds of its current size.

Whatever the future holds, the Dead Sea’s magical mix of sun, mud, sea and salt will surely survive. Many might complain that the Dead Sea is half empty—but for me the Dead sea will always be half full.

1.What’s the passage mainly about?

A.Dead Sea – miracle of the world.

B.Save the environment of the Dead Sea.

C.Slow shrinking of the Dead Sea.

D.Why is the Dead Sea so salty.

2.The shrinking of the Dead Sea is mainly caused by ________ according to the passage.

A.a severe reduction of the water flowing into the sea

B.rapid evaporation of the water in the Dead Sea area

C.the increasing quantity of water drawn from the sea

D.very low annual rainfall in the Dead Sea Area

3.Which of the following is right according to the passage?

A.With no outlet to any ocean, the Dead Sea has become by evaporation most dense waters on earth.

B.Though burdened with the growing population, the neighboring countries haven’t cut off the sources of the Dead Sea.

C.All the countries in the area will consider diverting less water from the Jordan River.

D.The Red-Dead Project has not only brought water to the Dead Sea, but peace to the area as well.

4.Which of the following statements will the author approve of?

A.If the Dead Sea dried up, great natural disasters would happen in the region.

B.The Dead Sea will not survive no matter what people do to save it.

C.The five neighboring countries should stop diverting water from the Jordan River.

D.Though the Dead Sea is shrinking gradually, it will not die.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Moral science is taught as a subject in most schools but with little effect. Perhaps part of the problem lies in the fact that morality is not a science, strictly speaking. It is too much of a social phenomenon, and also has too much of the personal and subjective things mixed within. Besides, morality itself changes with generations. So it is impossible to be defined in a textbook.

I remember sitting through forty minutes of moral lessons, which told stories about little children who never told lies and were rewarded for their goodness. It had little effect and left no impression on me, though.

If moral science has to be taught as a subject in schools, it needs a participatory(参与其中的) approach. When you tell a child about morals, you also have to deal with social norms（规范）and cultural differences. You have to explain that morality can be subjective, and be able to co-exist in society. You will probably have to refer to the morals of the present time.

The best way to tell a child how to live is to show him what is valued. If a child likes his friend, you have to make the child think about why. Once the child notices and recognizes goodness in others, he or she is likely to develop it as well.

In fact, children learn most of their morals by watching people around them. They absorb behavior patterns from teachers and older students. They watch to see what is rewarded and who is punished. They learn on the sports field and through social work. Moral science lessons should simply consist of letting them live and interact, and watch you support correct values and reward good behavior.

1.Which is NOT the reason that moral science is taught in schools but with little effect?

A．Morality doesn’t strictly belong to a science.

B．Morality is more like a social phenomenon.

C．Morality can’t be written down in textbooks.

D．Different generations have different moral ideas.

2.The author describes his own experience of having moral lessons in order to _____.

A．explain telling lies is not moral for little children

B．advise people should be rewarded for their goodness

C．show he has no opinions about moral science

D．prove moral lessons in schools have little effect

3.When you tell a child about morals, you should________.

A．teach him to share personal moral ideas with others

B．tell him about social norms and cultural differences

C．explain that nobody can influence his moral ideas

D．say that the present morals are likely to be changed

4.What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．The influence of people’s behavior on morals.

B．The value of teachers’ setting a good example.

C．The best way of teaching children about morals.

D．The importance of rewarding good behavior.
