A
I am a 21-year-old boy, and this is my story.
One month after I graduated from high school in 2009,I was coming home from swim practice and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma(昏迷)for over two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn’t talk or communicate when I woke up. Walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were almost shattered. But I was not going to let my injuries prevent me from living my dreams.
After 14 operations and blood transfusions, I had to learn how to talk, eat, walk, shower and live independently again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After spending a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I could walk again, but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but run. When it came true, I wanted to get back in the pool again. After a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St.Mary’s College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.
1.When the car accident happened, the author________.
A. was a high school student B. had finished his high school education
C. was a college student D. was returning home from a swim competition
2.What does the underlined word “shattered” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Begun B. Destroyed C. Shared D. Taken
3.It can be inferred that the author ________after he woke up from his coma.
A. was out of hospital B. was in surprise
C. faced physical and mental challenges D. was worried about his lung
4.What does the author mainly want to show in the last paragraph?
A. His purpose of sharing his story. B. His painful experiences.
C. His influence on students. D. His great achievements.

【吉林省长白山市2017届高三第二次模拟】C
You have never seen him, but they're with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand(经受得住)almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a magic book. They're known as the black box.
When planes fall from the sky,as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30,2009,the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong.So when a French submarine(潜水艇)detected the device's homing signal five days later,the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.
In 1958,Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction.That was the first mode for a black box,which became a requirement on all U.S.commercial flights by 1960.Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device(装置)was completely redesigned and moved to the back of the plane-the area least affected bu impact-from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.
Modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots' conversations, and a flight-data recorder,which monitors fuel levels,engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft's final moments.Placed in an insulated ( 隔绝的) case and surrounded by a quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel,the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉.When in deep water,they're also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft.Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447,which crashed near Brazil on June 1,2009,are in water nearly that deep,but statistics say they're still likely to turn up.In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years,only one plane's black boxes were never recovered.
1.In Paragraph 1,the author wants to say the black box_________.
A. comes from a comic book B. is an necessary device on an airplane
C. can prevent disasters D. can control the function of an airplane
2.From the black box on the Yemeni airliner _________ could be found.
A. the scene of the crash and the degree of the damage B. the total number of passengers on board
C. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash D. data for analyzing the cause of the crash
3.Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?
A. The early models often got damaged in the crash. B. New materials became available by that time.
C. Too much space was needed for its device. D. The early models didn't provide the needed data.
4.What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?
A. They have stopped sending homing signals. B. There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.
C. There is still a good chance of their being recovered. D. They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

Lately,my 90-year-old mom has been more and more quiet and sleepy.This is very odd and disturbing.At the same time,my 92-year-old father has been suffering his own health problems.It is terrible to see my father struggle to get her to talk,say something,when she doesn’t have the energy.
The other day,I recalled how my mother used to visit a woman named Mrs.Demopolis,a Greek immigrant,who made the best baklava(果仁饼)!She gave lessons on baking hem to my mother.Also,my mom used to bake baklava often for a time and that was absolute pleasure.As I spoke of this over the phone,my silent mom cheered up and said how much she’d like o have one again.
Now,they live in Florida and I like in Wales,UK with my husband and children,so I can’t go and bring her some baklava or even make some in her kitchen.But what I did suggest was that my father or sister should buy some baklava at a Greek Restaurant and I should do she same,and wouldn’t it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so,be together sharing the moment and the pleasure?Both parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.It was lovely to hear a little happiness in her voice.
Tow days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience.It meant a lot to my parents,and to me,to do this.My mother said she wants to do this again,maybe with another food or even baklava again! Why not?And as she only keeps losing weight instead of gaining,it is good for her to find foods that appeal to her appetite.It is becoming harder to find ways to communicate over the phone,but this was this was at least a very good way to do so.And it was nice,as well,to remind us of pleasant memories of our past.

I am an active playgoer and play-reader, and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others. To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play.
Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright(剧作家) hopes to get across through dialogue and action. A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme. It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection, for that would, indeed, ruin the pleasure of reading, discussing, and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright. However, a variety of types is represented here. These include comedy, satire, poignant drama, historical and regional drama. To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play, I have included a guidance play, a radio play and a television play.
Among the writers of the plays in this collection, Paul Green, Susan Glaspell, Maxwell Anderson, Thornton Wilder, William Saroyan, and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater. More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book.
To get the most out of reading these plays, try to picture the play on stage, with you, the reader, in the audience. The houselights dim(变暗). The curtains are about to open, and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.
1.What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A.He has written dozens of plays. B.He has a deep love for the theater.
C.He is a professional stage actor. D.He likes reading short plays to others.
2.What does the author avoid doing in his work?
A.Stating the plays’ central ideas. B.Selecting works by famous playwrights.
C.Including various types of plays. D.Offering information on the playwrights.
3.What does the author suggest readers do while reading the plays?
A.Control their feelings. B.Apply their acting skills.
C.Use their imagination. D.Keep their audience in mind.
4.What is this text?
A.A short story. B.An introduction to a book.
C.A play review. D.An advertisement for a theater.

As the parent of a 7-year-old boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overcommitted(过分受约束的)and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.
This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It-and Stop People-Pleasing.
Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decade-old book by psychologist Susan Newman is a must-read book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.
Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “people-pleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your self-respect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request comes your way. For people-pleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.
The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in common-things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.
Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly recommend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.
1.Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A. To blame himself. B. To show how to guide kids.
C. To tell his likes and dislikes. D. To help recommend a book.
2.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A. How to deal with a request.
B. Why askers turn to others for a favor.
C. Why people-pleasers say “yes” too often.
D. How to strengthen relationships with askers.
3.What does the underlined word “scenarios” probably mean?
A. Occasions. B. Processes.
C. Adventures. D. Stories.
4.What does the author advise us to do?
A. Give no response to any demand.
B. Learn to say “no” in a positive way.
C. Keep open all channels of communication.
D. Say “yes” constantly without feeling guilty.
