It was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor(光标) had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out.
Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a crucial（紧要关头） undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.
I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs. But no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company's Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don't know what continent they're standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we've been having when there was a monsoon(季风) at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point.
"My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don't have the Windows Setup CD."
"So you're having a problem with your Windows Setup CD." She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.
It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper. Her only duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.
To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows' creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don't know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn't have it. No matter how many times I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and polite.
When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.
"You don't have the Windows Setup CD, ma'am, because you don't need it," he explained cheerfully.
"Windows came preinstalled on your computer!"
"But I do need it."
"Yes, but you don't have it." We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. "Of course, you'd lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos." It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. "You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive." He sounded delighted. "And it's not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)!" The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.
I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I'd heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn't be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.
1.Why did the author shut down her computer abruptly?
A．She had saved what she had written.
B．She couldn't move the cursor.
C．The computer refused to work.
D．The computer offered to repair itself.
2.Which of the following is the author's opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?
A．She sounded helpful and knowledgeable.
B．She was there to make callers frustrated.
C．She was able to solve her computer problem.
D．She was quick to pass her along to a technician.
3.According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was_________________.
A．effective B．economical C．unpractical D．unsatisfied
4. "It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache" in the last but one paragraph means that_____________________.
A．the technician's proposal would make things even worse
B．the technician's proposal could eventually solve the problem
C．files stored on her computer were like a safe
D．erasing the entire system was like curing a headache
5.It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the followings except ________________.
A．efficiency B．location C．setup CDs D．attitude

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
On the 3rd of July,about six in the morning,I was watering my flowers.A young man entered the garden.He was blonde,beardless;he wore a German cap and gold glasses in a proud way.A long,loose woolen coat hung down in a sad way around his body.He wore no gloves;his leather shoes had huge soles.I put down my watering-pot, and greeted him in German with:"Guten Morgen!”＂Monsieur,"he said to me in French, but with a very unpleasant accent,"my name is Hermann Schultz;I have come to pass some months in Greece,and I have carried your book with me everywhere."
That praise filled my heart with sweet joy;the stranger's voice seemed more beautiful than Mozart's music,and I directed a swift look of gratitude toward his gold glasses.You would hardly believe how much we love those who have taken the trouble to understand our jargon(行业术语)。
I took him by the hand and seated him beside me on the garden-bench.He told me that he was a botanist and that he had a commission from the"Jardin des Plantes"in Hamburg.In order to complete his herbarium(植物标本馆)，he was studying the country,the animals,and the people.He expressed himself uneasily,but with frankness which inspired confidence.He questioned me,if not about every one in Athens,at least about all the principal persons in my book.In the course of the conversation,he made some statements on general subjects,which seemed to me quite insightful.Therefore, they motivated me to think more deeply and get a more reasonable opinion.At the end of an hour we had become good friends.
1.How did the author find the young man at first?
A.Fashionable.
B.Unfavorable.
C.Easy-going.
D.Indifferent.
2.Why did the author feel grateful to the young man?
A.Because he brought the author a good pair of glasses.
B.Because he thought highly of the author's achievements.
C.Because he delighted the author with Mozart's music.
D.Because he took the time to read the author's work.
3.What can we infer about the young man from the last paragraph?
A.He was good at public speaking.
B.He was lacking in self-confidence.
C.He was slow in learning German culture.
D.He was enthusiastic about studies of plants.
4.What's the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To introduce a young botanist's achievements.
B.To show the start of his friendship with a stranger.
C.To describe the benefits of doing gardening.
D.To explain the beauty of studying biology.

It was always very cold on that lake shore in the night, but we had plenty of blankets and were warm enough. We never moved a muscle all night, but waked at early dawn in the original positions, and got up at once, thoroughly refreshed. There is no end of medicine in such an experience. That morning we could have defeated ten such people as we were the day before—sick ones at any rate. But the world is slow, and people will go to “water cures” and “movement cures” and to foreign lands for health. Three months of camp life on Lake Tahoe would bring back Egyptian mummy to life, and give him a healthy appetite. I do not mean the oldest and driest mummies, of course, but fresher ones. The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine. And why shouldn’t it be? —it is the same the angels breathe. I think that hardly any amount of tiredness can be gathered together that a man cannot sleep off in one night on the sand by its side. Not under a roof, but under the sky; it seldom or never rains there in the summertime. I know a man who went there to die. But he made a failure of it. He was a skeleton (骨瘦如柴的人) when he came, and could barely stand. He had no appetite, and did nothing but read tracts (小册子) and reflect on the future. Three months later he was sleeping out of doors regularly, eating all he could hold, three times a day, and hunting game over the mountains three thousand feet high for fun. And he was a skeleton no longer, but weighed part of a ton. This is no fancy sketch, but the truth. His disease was consumption. I confidently recommend his experience to other skeletons.
—Mark Twain
1.Which of the following is the topic of the passage?
A. How to live near Lake Tahoe
B. The imagination of Lake Tahoe
C. The area of Lake Tahoe has amazing powers to bring back people’s health
D. Lake Tahoe’s air and water quality are fantastic for Egyptian mummies
2.The writer’s tone of this passage is ________.
A. determined B. persuasive
C. homesick D. entertaining
3.What does the author mean by saying the air is “the same the angels breathe”?
A. The altitude is very high. B. The wet air surrounded the lake.
C. The cold wind in the area. D. The wideness of the land.
4.The author uses the “Egyptian mummy” to compare to ________.
A. people who lost their families B. sick and exhausted people
C. a dead man D. the writers bad dream
