I remember a day when I was a little kid. I was making a sandwich in the kitchen when I noticed the date on one of the wine bottles.
“ Dad, dad!” I cried. “This wine is too old to drink.”
“ Son, hold on,” he said.
“ No, you can’t drink this tonight! This bottle of wine was made 10 years ago.”
“ Wait, let me tell you…”
“ Would you like me to throw it away fro you?” I asked.
“ Son, wait a second,” he said. “Son, some wines get better over time. The longer you wait to drink it, the better it will be. Although this may seem strange, it is true.”
When I was young, I didn’t have any understanding of what this meant, but now, this would have been very helpful to remember as I went through my teenage years.
In our society, we forget this simple rule: The longer you want for certain things, the better they will be. But we want the best job as quickly as possible; we want to graduate from college in as few years as possible; we even speed through our homework just to chat with friends. When we do this, we lose something of great importance.
We all want to get to the next step so quickly that perhaps we don’t get ready enough to get there. This has a negative effect on our society. When trying to go to the right college, we will do anything to get in and when we rush through our class-work, we may not study enough for the test, and end up failing. We need to be ready for whatever comes, ready for the unexpected. Wine gets better over time, so do the things in our paths of life.
1.Why did the author tell his father not to drink the bottle of wine?
A.Because it smelt terrible.
B.Because it had been kept for years.
C.Because it was mixed with something else.
D.Because his father drank too much that night.
2.What the author’s father said __________.
A.made the author puzzled when he was a little child.
B.was too simple a rule to be meaningful to the author.
C.threw the author into deep thought then.
D.was an excuse to drink the wine.
3.In the author’s opinion, if we do things too quickly, we will __________.
A.do it better
B.save much time
C.graduate from college more quickly
D.miss something useful to us in life
4.Which of the following best reflects the main idea of the passage?
A.Well begun is half done.
B.More haste, less speed.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

高二英语阅读理解困难题查看答案及解析
I'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four, remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion. whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it. I didn't like him anymore.
I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的) words. When the door was skimmed(砰地关上) in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog which bit my father 20 years ago or so.
What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal.
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so and try to get to know why he had such behaviour.
1.What's the influence of the incident that happened when he was four?
A.It hurt his father's feeling deeply. B.It has puzzled the author ever since.
C.It left a deep impression on the author. D.It made the author dislike dogs.
2.What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?
A.The photo of the dog, B.His friend's attitude.
C.His father's wound. D.His friend’s suffering.
3.Why did the authors friend say harsh words to the author?
A.Because he was bad-tempered.
B.Because they once quarreled and lie couldn't forgive the author.
C.Because he was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D.Because he was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
4.What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?
A.Misunderstanding should be removed in time.
B.Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.
C.Many people think more of themselves and less of others.
D.Many factors will affect one's behavior.
5.What's the author's advice to us?
A.Learn to understand others. B.Look before you leap.
C.Help those in need. D.Tolerance is a kind of virtue.

There was a time when an event would not begin without a photographer. “I remember the days when event organisers would even delay a show if the photographer was running late,” says Balachandra Raju, a photographer of Sathyam studio, a still surviving photo studio in India’s southern city of Chennai.
Photo studios are facing extinction in the digital age. But as they struggle to continue doing the business, one research project is looking at ways to preserve their legacy (遗产) by digitising archival (档案的) pictures.
The project, funded by the British Library, visited around 100 photo studios across the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu and digitised 10,000 prints. Many of the photos were taken between1880-1980, and they ranged from pictures of families and famous stars to weddings and funerals. “The digital archive will be an asset (有用之物) for those interested in history,” said Zoe E Headley, one of the researchers. Ramesh Kumar, another researcher on the project, called it a “gold mine” for photographers. “The research we’ve done also highlights production techniques used before digital photography arrived in our cities and towns,” he said.
However, the researchers would often find old photos stacked (难叠) on top of one another in the storage room of a studio. “No one had bothered to clean them,” Kumar said, adding that many photos had been damaged due to the hot and wet weather in Tamil Nadu.
The owner of Nallapillai studio in central Tamil Nadu said he spends about 20,000 rupees (£230; $310) each month to run the studio that was founded by his great grandfather almost 150 years ago. To survive in this digital age has been a struggle. “Many customers don’t book us for special events anymore,” he said, adding that they have all got smartphones to do the job. “I’m not sure if photo studios will exist five years from now,” he said. But this is why, according to Mr Raju, this archival project is so important. “When the researchers spent hours in my studio, I saw them get excited over all of these old photos, and it was like they had given these pictures a second chance,” Raju said.
1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?
A.Photographers were lazy.
B.Photography was valued.
C.Expert photographers were few.
D.Event organisers were the most important.
2.How might the project preserve photo studios legacy?
A.Photo studios can attract many visitors.
B.Photographers can have a good working place.
C.Photographers get to learn about old photography techniques.
D.Photo studios have the chance to take pictures of famous stars.
3.What has the researchers found?
A.Some photo studios are doing well.
B.Photo studios are booked for special events.
C.Some photo studios suffer from bad weather.
D.Photo studios give old pictures little protection.
4.What is Raju’s attitude towards the project?
A.Hopeful. B.Anxious
C.Disapproving. D.Opposed.

I would always remember that day. When I was 14,all I wanted was a unique necklace with my name carved. It was the “in” thing and it seemed every girl except me had one. On my 15th birthday, my Mum gave me a beautiful necklace with my initials(姓名首字母) carved into it. I was in heaven.
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”. We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff(东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost. But not my necklace. My necklace was new.
Then, only one month later, I lost it. I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning. I was sad and searched everywhere for it. But it seemed to have disappeared. Eventually, I gave up and stopped looking for it. And two years later, we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed, and a couple of moves later, I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me. It wasn’t my birthday, nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion. Mum noticed my questioning look. “You’ll recognize this one,” she said, smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box. I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful necklace inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations, which included replacing the carpets. When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the necklace. As it had my initials carved into it, they realized who owned the necklace. They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother. And it still fits me.
1.The underlined word “in” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.
A. available
B. fashionable
C. practical
D. renewable
2.When she got the necklace back, the writer was about ________.
A. 30 years old
B. 28 years old
C. 15 years old
D. 14 years old
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer lost her necklace in the morning when she took it off.
B. The writer never stopped looking for her necklace.
C. The writer’s ring was cleaned up by the new house owner.
D. The writer’s family moved several times during her growth.
4.What would be the best title for the passage?
A. My New Necklace
B. Lost and Replaced
C. Lost and Found
D. A Beautiful Necklace

One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle walking home from school with all his books, I thought to myself, “ 11 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend?

His glasses went 14 and landed in the grass.
My heart went out to him. So, I ran over to him.15 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 16 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 17 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school. Therefore he had the 18 to prepare a graduation speech.

I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 23 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 24 me from doing the unspeakable.”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the25 of your actions. With one small gesture you can change a person’s life. For better or for worse.
